It took roughly 2 hours as I redid all of the tracks within the first arrangement aside from the drums.

I really like the 2nd one more than the first but really, both are good. They just fit different moods I think.

Now, the requests. I had been requested to do Epona’s Song from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for a friend’s birthday and they had also requested a rendition of a song from Ouran High School Host Club, an anime.

I couldn’t find a decent long midi base for Epona’s Song aside from a melodious version found at VGMusic. So I used it. Much thanks to VGMusic and the creator of that Midi.

In November I worked with a friend on a rendition of Sunset Park Act 1/2 from Sonic Triple Trouble.
My friend had never used any sort of musical software like this before and I taught him the basics.
That is, as I didn’t know how to use the most advanced portions of my program……The basics were roughly half of what I knew.

We listened and tried to fit things into place.
The greatest issue was trying to make the song sound different in some sections.
Working with someone was especially different from what I had been accustomed to.
Trying ideas and having immediate feedback was like a double edged sword until I got used to it.
While I may have wanted to go one direction he wanted to go another, so we compromised.

I will post and reflect on each piece I’ve gotten done since my last update as well as upload each one and finally post my Doll of Misery renditions (Because I got nit-picky so there are two and they are different).

I will also once again include the link to my works in addition to embedding them in the blog.
